Care Coordination and Transition Management Review Questions

This resource contains 200 mock test items to help nurses prepare for the Certified in Care Coordination and Transition Management (CCCTM) exam provided by the Medical-Surgical Nursing Certification Board (MSNCB) in collaboration with AAACN. Nurses can also use the CCTM Review Questions to assess their knowledge of the practice of care coordination and transition management.

All the review questions and their answers, associated page numbers, and rationales (found in the back of the book) are based on the Care Coordination and Transition Management Core Curriculum, a AAACN publication. Using the CCTM Core Curriculum as a companion to the CCTM Review Questions is highly recommended.

CCTM Review Questions reflects the latest test blueprint of the CCTM exam corresponding to those on the exam: Communication and transition throughout the care continuum; Education, engagement; coaching and counseling of patients, caregivers, and support network; Population health management; Patient-centered care planning and support for self-management; Teamwork and inter-professional collaboration; and Advocacy.

Scope and Standards of Practice for Registered Nurses in Care Coordination and Transition Management, 2015

The Standards are a giant step forward in that they include the first statement of the scope and standards of practice for professional nurses in a relatively role, care coordination and/or transition management (CCTM). While the activities of these roles in current times have been evolving over the past twenty five years, there has never been formal identification, specification and/or publication of the scope and standards of practice.

This resource may be used as a tool to advance professional care coordination and/or transition management nursing practice, patient and population health, and the performance outcomes of health care institutions.

The publication includes the definition of CCTM, defining characteristics for RNs practicing in the CCTM role, and an initial conceptual framework that was adapted from models cited in the Care Coordination and Transition Management Core Curriculum. The framework offers a structure for cataloguing and unifying the distinct relationships and interactions among the professional nurse, the patient, group and/or population, the inter-professional health care team, and the resources across the health care continuum.
